Why? Would you mind giving the lowdown on NY's rail system?
Subways were built from the get-go on completely different alignments from mainline rail, often parallel
which means you'd need substantial construction to link them up--and I suspect there would be other problems w vehicle specs
Is this not true for most commuter rail? I thought Tokyo was the exception when it came to this sort of thing.
In a city like Boston, all four subway lines make use of former (or current) mainline alignments--interoperation would be more practical
London also has this pattern--and I think it's pretty typical in Germany and some other European countries
Boston's pattern; using former or current mainline alignments for subway service
